“…1,11,12,14,17 However, various benign and aggressive imaging patterns have been reported. 1,4,14 The most common radiographic patterns are a well-defined radiolucent lesion with cortical destruction without a periosteal reaction, 1,8,9,11,12,14,16 an expansile central metaphyseal lesion with a sclerotic rim, 6,8,12,15 and a malignant lesion with ill-defined margins, cortical destruction, and soft tissue extension. 1,2,11,14 An extraosseous mass has been reported in approximately one-third of cases.…”

Fibromyxoma of bone is a rare benign tumor of fibrous tissue origin. The typical location is the jaws. Sporadic extragnathic cases have been reported, but fibromyxoma of the spine has not been reported. The histological appearance of fibromyxoma is benign and includes abundant extracellular fibrous and myxoid stroma with varying amounts of calcification and ossification. Myxoid changes are usually extensive. Extragnathic fibromyxoma of bone should be distinguished from benign cartilage-forming bone tumors, such as chondromyxoid and myxoid chondrosarcoma and myxoma of bone. It has also been suggested that fibromyxoma is a variant of myxoid fibrous dysplasia, whereas other authors reported extragnathic fibromyxoma resulting from myxoid degeneration of bone tumors, such as chondrosarcoma or fibrosarcoma. The overtreatment of patients with fibromyxoma of bone due to an aggressive imaging appearance should be avoided; the prognosis is excellent compared with the jaw variant and depends on the location and extent of the tumor. This article describes a case of a 21-year-old woman with fibromyxoma of bone originating from the spinous process of the axis. Clinical examination showed a tender mass in the midline of the posterior aspect the neck and slight limitation of neck range of motion; neurologic examination was normal. Diagnosis was obtained with a preoperative biopsy. Marginal excision of the lesion with posterior laminectomy of the axis was performed. The facets were preserved, and no fusion was performed. At last follow-up 2 years after diagnosis and treatment, the patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of local recurrence.

“…Extracardiac myxomas may occur in aponeurotic tissues, bone, genitourinary tract, skin, retroperitoneum, intestine, pharynx, joints and skeletal muscles [ 1 ]. Osseous myxomas have been reported in the jawbones and calcaneum [ 3 ]. Extracardiac myxomas are benign tumors with a slow growth rate and low mitotic activity, which are surrounded by skeletal muscles; they usually present in the 4th to 6th decades of life in women [ 4 – 7 ].…”

IntroductionIntramuscular myxoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. Myxomas most commonly occur in the heart. They may occur less frequently in aponeurotic tissues, bone, genitourinary tract, subcutaneous tissue and skin.Case presentationThe case described here is a 44-year-old Turkish woman who presented with the complaint of a swelling in her right shoulder. A preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lobular contoured mass lesion in her deltoid muscle. The mass was marginally excised and pathology revealed intramuscular myxoma.ConclusionIntramuscular myxoma of the deltoid muscle is a very rare benign tumor. In the differential diagnosis, reactive lesions, myxoid nodular fasciitis and low -grade myxoid sarcomas should be kept in mind, upon which the treatment should be planned.

“…The most frequent site of occurrence of the myxoma is within the myocardium [ 6 ], skeletal muscles of the lower limbs and the jaw bones, but rarely in upper limbs [ 1 , 7 , 8 ]. The osseous lesions are limited to the jaws, has been reported in the calcaneum [ 9 ]. Occurrence of myxoma of the hand region is a rare entity.…”

Intramuscular myxomas of the hand are rare entities. Primarily found in the myocardium, these lesions also affect the bone and soft tissues in other parts of the body. This article describes a case of hypothenar muscles myxoma treated with local surgical excision after frozen section biopsy with tumor-free margins. Radiographic images of the axial and appendicular skeleton were negative for fibrous dysplasia, and endocrine studies were within normal limits. The 8-year follow-up period has been uneventful, with no complications. The patient is currently recurrence free, with normal intrinsic hand function.
